Golden Ocean Bbq Chinese Restaurant

Fantastic value. We had almost given up on getting decent Chinese at a reasonable price. These guys are great value and the food exceeded our expectations. Put it this way...now we eat Chinese food every week!

A small family run Chinese restaurant that cooks with love. Had dinner here not long ago with our family friends who were friends of the chef and owner. We were recommended off menu items which are basically their specials of the day and so glad we went with that as being Chinese, I've eaten pretty much tried everything they had on the menu at other places, so it was something different.

We ordered the lobster noodle, abalone and snow peas, spicy salt soft shell crabs, poached free range chicken, snow pea leaves and a soup (forgot what it was). This meal didn't come cheap as you pay for what you get for and it was worth every cent! (Also because lobster and abalone is never cheap! Haha)

The lobster noodle is one of the better ones I've tasted as other restaurants usually make the noodles very gulgy and thick (too much thickener I think) and the lobster is sometimes over cooked, but golden ocean does it just right with plebty of noodles.

The soft shell crab was very interesting too! Never had it this particular way. They cooked it through with curry leaves with left the whole dish with a lovely aroma that filled the air.

Definitely can't wait to come back with the family to try some other stuff. Definitely ask for recommendations if you want something different from your typical Chinese restaurant meals!

From other family friends that also have been, it's best to notify them in advance that you are going for dinner, not because it's busy but so that they can get any particular dish you want in advance. They really cater to your taste to the best of their possibilities limited by seasonality I'm assuming.

Hope this long review gets them the publicity the need and deserve hidden away in mount Waverley ! :)

This place is completely underrated. Definitely needs word of mouth to know about. Very authentic Cantonese cuisine in a level up version of a hole in the wall eatery. The shopfront is very unassuming, definitely would have walked right past without giving it another look if I wasn't referred.

Came in for a quick Saturday lunch. Left incredibly satisfied. They pride themselves on 0 MSG - which I can vouch for. Chef is very experienced and qualified.. food was sublime. Flavours and quality on par with a 5 star Chinese restaurant. Waiters are warm and hospitable, am very pleased, especially since Chinese restaurants are generally known for rude and unfriendly service.

I am looking forward to returning to try out different menu items.

Winnie’s family has been patrons at Golden Ocean for a long time so got to know the chef and owner quite well. I’m not sure if this was the reason for the unbelievable service and warmth we received but I was sure set on visiting this restaurant again.

Restaurant looks a little dodgie but the food is amazingly good! I'm greatful I found it hidden slightly away from the main carpark. Definitely going back again, one thing I ordered over $40 and picked up the food.. On the menu it says I should have got a free chicken soup with prawn crackers.. I got neither.
